Posted 7th August 2025
Planning your retirement rental in Surrey is a smart step — Surrey offers a blend of beautiful countryside, excellent healthcare, strong transport links (to London and beyond), and a variety of retirement rental options tailored to different needs and lifestyles.
Surrey has long been synonymous with retirement and for several, very good, reasons. The rolling countryside, the traditional market towns, the connectivity to the capital and to the south coast to name just a few benefits. There is also a good spattering of superior golf course to explore! It’s a wonderful area to be at any stage of life, but particularly special to enjoy later life living.
Retiring to Surrey has in fact been voted as a top location to live in later life.
According to research by L&G, reported in the Independent, towns in Surrey don’t just come in once, they feature a whopping seven times in the top 20 retirement hotspots in the UK!
It’s no surprise really. In this stunning home county, you will find world famous gardens, ancient heathlands, scenic views and calming waterways. But this isn’t where the high scores come from in the surveys – its community. Communities built around communal spaces and shared interests. Just like the ones we offer with a My Future Living rental apartment.
From Cobham to Haslemere, Farnham and Reigate, each corner of Surrey offers a unique position bursting with opportunities to make your retirement entirely yours to mould.
